Pete Buttigieg is barnstorming the nation in the final weeks before the midterms, boosting candidates in battlegrounds and even areas traditionally hostile to Democrats. Buttigieg is set to campaign in at least six states: North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, Georgia, Nevada and Michigan.

Buttigieg goes big to help 2026 Dems
He is set to campaign in at least six states in the final stretch. As he does, he’s refining his message and thinking about what comes next.

Odd, that Republicans in Congress cruelly require work quotas from the poor, sick, and disabled to get federal money, while Republicans in Congress could never qualify for these quotas because of all the days they take off work, but still get FULL benefits from the federal government. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Americans: "Both parties are the same." Trump raped children, demolished the White House, put his name on everything, and grifted billions from supporters and taxpayers. Obama was also mired in controversy: he tried to pay for healthcare for Americans. Same, right?
